Chances are that you are going to have to receive the package when it is delivered (and it will be!) and then return it. At that point you have other options to complain, such as dents in the box. You can even take the drone out and play with it, crash it, and return it claiming it was faulty... all the while proclaiming that you will never buy a DJI product, or shop from Costco, or ship via UPS. Endless fun!
why are you buying stuff online if you can't wait a few days?
Has anyone found this drone in their local Costco btw?

Question, from watching some of the tutorial videos, I am seeing that DJI sells a propeller holder (different than the propeller guards). Do you guys recommend it? I see that DJI sells the official version on their website for $13 ($14 on Amazon), does this holder still fit with this bag? I ask because it seems like a tight fit already.
Also, Amazon sells a whole host of 3rd holders for under $10.

The one I am considering for $5.99 shipped since it seems like it fits in the bag:

Thank you in advance, Michael

The package doesnt include propeller holder? From Costco images in the last pic, if u zoom i did see Propeller holder, so can you confirm if it's included or not?
Did some more research and it seems there is no official 1st party DJI propeller holder. The one that is sold on the DJI store is actually made by CYNOVA–a company that seemingly makes a whole host of DJI aftermarket accessories. This also explains why the "official" holder simply states "Designed for DJI" and not "Made by DJI" (screenshot attached).
With that said, I think I will order the CYNOVA version compared to the silicon band ones, the reason being there are complaints that the silicone band may add too much tension to the motor/propeller itself. Fit shouldn't be an issue since the drone has a lot of space to move around in if you use the Costco bag, I have read online that most holders don't fit in the Fly More case though.
Hope this helps, Michael

Thanks.
1. Can you share the link which you feel is a good Propeller Holder and also will it fit inside the bag which comes with the Costco purchase?
2. Any suggestions for battery charger? Isn't it necessary n preferred than charging through the drone itself?
3. One last question, any idea if the official dji 3 battery charger will fit in the dji bag which comes with Costco purchase?
This is the dude that when you're meeting up asks "are you here, yet" starting 15 minutes before the meeting time

2. Today is day one of using this drone and I am currently just charging the battery via the drone itself (included USB-A to USB-C). The DJI branded two-way charging hub would be great, but it is close to $40 and I also only have two batteries.
3. I took out a ruler and did some rough measurements. The large pocket inside the Costco bag "should" fit the DJI branded (3-battery) two-way charging hub and the remote itself. And the outer rectangle pocket could fit your cables, extra propellers, and whatever knickknacks. However, I don't currently own the two-way charging hub so it would be great if someone else either confirm or debunk my theory.
Update, I found the bag on Amazon and reviewers claim the bag DOES fit both the remote & two-way charging hub (screencap attached).
